There is multiplayer, of course, but at the time of writing we haven’t been able to try it.

You can choose a team, race through the whole season, and take part in full practice, qualifying and racing sessions, or trim them down to suit your style. But if you want a full career mode, then you’ve got it. These modes still give you a decent stretch with plenty of challenge, but without the more intense time commitments of the proper career mode. The latter gives you scenarios based on different stages of a driver’s career, asking you to beat a team-mate from a poor starting position, or pull ahead of a specific driver.

The former gives you a focused, ten race F1 season with shorter sessions and objectives based around rivalries with other drivers – you can pick your rivals to give yourself a fighting chance. If you want more of a quickfire arcade game, then the Season Challenge and Scenarios modes work perfectly. If you’re new to the F1 2013 series, there’s a Young Drivers Test mode that takes you through the basics of braking and steering and how and when to use KERS and DRS. For F1 fans of a certain age, F1 Classics mode will be sweet nectar.īut what about the rest? Well, some might say that F1 2013’s single-player modes are a little bit lacking in drama, but we’d say there’s something for just about everyone. You can’t rely on KERS or DRS to increase your lead or catch up with the pack, and even the look of the cars is that little bit more low-tech, particularly in the cockpit views. There’s a sense that anything could happen, and that any mistake you make could be disastrous. The cars are demanding and the racing that little bit more hairy, even if racing against a field of just nine is a little less frantic than racing against a field of 21, as in the game’s modern modes.
Within these boundaries, the F1 Classics mode is just what F1 2013 needs. There’s no Classics career mode, no Ayrton Senna and no McLaren MP4, just the individual Grand Prix events, some time trials and a series of historical scenarios.
#CODEMASTERS F1 2013 CLASSIC EDITION UPGRADE#
If you don’t buy the F1 2013 Classic Edition now, you can upgrade later with DLC. Stump up £10 more for the F1 2013 Classic Edition and you get two more tracks – Imola and Estoril – plus six nineties cars and matching drivers.
With the F1 2013 standard edition you get two classic tracks – Jerez and Brands Hatch – with five 1980s cars and ten drivers. F1 Classics mode is not, as some have suggested, a game in its own right. This is a great move at a time when films like Senna and Rush have revitalised interest in F1 history, but we need to keep a lid on expectations. Instead, its killer feature is a Classics mode, taking us back to the glory days of the eighties and nineties with vintage cars, vintage tracks and vintage drivers. While F1 2013 is a better game all-round than F1 2012, the improvements are mainly in the detail. There are only so many tweaks you can make, so many modes or features you can add, before you have to radically overhaul the graphics or the gameplay something that’s not easy at this point in the console lifecycle.į1 2013 has its share of tweaks and new features, but like many great sports series before it – FIFA, NBA and Fight Night come instantly to mind – it’s looking back to the past in order to move into the future.
